In this heartfelt episode of Retire in Texas, host Darryl Lyons, CEO and Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, sits down with Dr. Marian Sokol, former CEO of the Children's Bereavement Center of South Texas, to explore how grief affects children - and how healing begins through connection, creativity, and compassion.
From art therapy to peer support groups, Dr. Sokol shares how the Bereavement Center has helped thousands of children and families navigate the pain of losing a loved one. She also discusses the center's outreach in Uvalde, its school-based counseling programs, and how volunteers and donors play a vital role in sustaining its mission offered free of charge to families.
Key Highlights:
- How the Children's Bereavement Center supports children ages 3-23 through grief and trauma.
- Why expressive arts therapy helps kids process pain they can't express in words.
- The Center's work in Uvalde and response to community-wide tragedies.
- How families can volunteer, donate, or participate in programs.
- The emotional and financial importance of wills, organization, and long-term planning.
